To anyone out there looking for an exceptional F5 please check out 2012 Kimble #200 that is currently for sale at The Mandolin Store. I used to own this mandolin and the only reason I still don't is that I moved over to Will's 2-point body design (I currently own a Kimble 2-point mandolin and a Kimble 2-point mandola).
I can honestly say that this is one of the world's truly great mandolins. It's got it all... volume, balance, looks (in spades), playability and tone for days. It is an absolutely, bona-fide musical work of art. You could pay more than twice the price for a F5 from some other big-name builders, but you would not get an instrument like this. So if you're in the market for an instrument of this quality... check it out!
P.S. - The images are one thing... when you actually hold this instrument in your hand and play it you will be amazed. It even comes with a rare and beautiful Pegasus case.
NFI whatsoever on my part...
